This session will be an interactive “art of the ask” training for fundraisers and executive directors, outlining the steps and materials needed to prepare for a successful fundraising solicitation. We will provide the tools for legal aid fundraising and executive staff to make face to face solicitations and also support board members in becoming successful ambassadors and solicitors for their legal aid organizations. We will also facilitate an interactive solicitation practice with a “mock donor” so attendees can practice the skills they are learning in real time.
